Have you ever tried weight watchers?? That is a fast and easy way to loose weight and it is not too expensive.
to lose weight, you must quit drinking soda, and drink lots of water. this will help a lot. plus make sure to get lots of exercise, especially cardio. dont eat fatty foods, like cookies, candy, and fried foods. anything fried is bad. losing weight takes lots of time and patience. you can do it if you try really hard

diets
When selecting a low fat diet plan, make sure you are consuming a balanced and complete diet. Your assignment is to set realistic and attainable weight loss and diet goals. Start by following the simple guidelines below.
Nutritional and Low Fat Diet Guidelines
Commit to consuming 4 – 6 small meals and snacks everyday.
To succeed, you must plan ahead by packing your foods the night before. Thus, you should always have fresh and low-fat foods around.
Keep it simple. Don’t get too caught up on the specifics or your diet. Start by simply just counting calories.
Eat your foods slower.
Make healthier food selections like fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and beans, low-fat or nonfat dairy products, low fat meats, fish and skinless poultry.
Avoid foods that are high in fat and calories.
Avoid foods that are high in sugars such as pastries, candy bars, pies and candy.
Use a variety of fruits and vegetables in your nutrition plan. Start by trying to eat 5 total vegetable and fruit servings every single day.

exercise
With this 10 minute exercise routine you can burn up to 150 calories every single day.
The first two minutes of this fat burning routine is: Jump Rope – Begin by performing two jumps for each turn of the rope. Safety: Use the correct size jump rope and always land softly on the balls of your feet (that is the upper part of the bottom of your foot). Keep thinking I am losing weight.
Minutes two to three: Squat Thrust into a Push Up. The proper technique for this exercise is to stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your arms strait down next to your sides. Slowly squat down with your head forward and bring your hands to the floor just outside of your feet. Your hands should be pointing forward as well. Then in one movement, push your legs back and out behind you (into a pushup position). Perform one strict pushup and then jump back into your squat position and then stand back up. Keep thinking, the fat is vanishing.
Minutes three to four: Jump Rope with only one jump per turn. Keep thinking, The fat is melting away.
Minutes four to five: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Side Plank. After completing your squat thrust and push up, you are going to lift and rotate your left arm off of the ground and over your head. Your left foot will rotate and rest on top of you right foot. And you will rotate your neck so you are looking up at your ceiling. Rotate back to the center and repeat on the other side. When finished, hop back into your squat position, stand up and start again. Keep thinking, no more belly.
Minutes five and six: Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. keep thinking, I am losing body fat.
Minutes six and seven: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Leg Lift. This is the same as minutes two and three only this time you will lift the toes of one foot about twelve inches off of the ground only after you have performed your push up. Lower your foot and repeat on the other side. Hop back up to your squat position, stand up, and start again. Keep thinking, goodbye belly.
Minutes seven and eight: Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. Keep thinking, my belly is getting smaller.
Minutes eight and nine: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add Mountain Climbers. Repeat everything as in minutes two and three only this time after your push up, you will quickly jog in place from your push up position. Make sure you bring your knees up to your chest on each rotation. Perform 5 jogs and repeat this entire process. Keep thinking, I am going to lose weight.
Minutes nine and ten: Jump Rope. Same as you first two minutes. Keep thinking. If I do this everyday, I will lose belly fat. Good luck to everyone.
We recommend using a soft padding such as a yoga mat when performing this exercise. This will cut down on any injury and save some of those knee joints for you. If you need more information on gym mats and yoga mats, please visit Ultimate Fitness Equipment – for all of your fitness needs.
I have learned in life that there are no diets that will work in the long term. What you should do is change the way you live, eat, and move. You have a good amount of time to loose the weight. My suggestion would be to not only do aerobic exercise but also lift weights/toning. You typically burn 39% more fat after lifting and toning and your results (as far as dress size) are more immediate. Don’t be worried if in the first month the scale stays the same or goes up a little bit while you are building muscle, its normal. After that the weight just slides right off. Your eating habits should be healthy. Meaning, eat. Dont starve yourself or over eat. Your body knows what it needs. I’ve lost 40 pounds in about 2 months doing this. I wish you the best!
eat less, exercise more.
eat 1200-1500 calories a day.
exercise a lot.
3500 calories equals a pound.
so if you want to lose 32 pounds… that would be 112,000 calories. over 6 months. so you need to exercise off about 600 calories a day… it’s possible.
my mom has gone on the “Atkins Diet” – where you scale back on carbs, and it’s seemed to work very well – along with exercise too.
There aren’t any diets that actually work. The best way to loose weight is through watching your diet, which means watching what you eat, and working out, which should be a combination of cardio and strength training.
Actually, the reason most health diets don’t work is because people don’t move enough. Are you getting 60 full minutes of exercise each day? Well you should! You forgot to mention how tall you are. Your weight should depend on your height.
And there’s no actual diet I can suggest but lay off the junk, greasy, fried, oily foods & cake, muffins, cookies, etc. I already did & it’s not hard to resist if you keep thinking of the end result, but it depends on your will power. Don’t reward yourself!!!!!!
by the way, eat only when you’re hungry and eat several small meals a day instead of 3 big meals.
